Zhu, who immigrated to the U.S. from China as a child, took to Twitter to say part of the reasoning was because she refused to “try on a hijab,” adding that MWA “accused me of being racist, Islamophobic, and insensitive”.

“Miss World America’s State/National/Chief Director accused me of being racist, Islamaphobic, and insensitive. They stripped me of my Miss Michigan title due to my refusal to try on a hijab in 2018, my tweet about black on black gun violence, and “insensitive” statistical tweets.”

Ardent Trump supporter Kathy Zhu has said she was stripped of a Miss World America title after the organizers took issue with her black-on-black violence tweet and her refusal to try on a hijab as part of a school activity.

A private organization can kick out anyone they want for violating their by laws. They most likely have a code of conduct in their terms she had to sign. If she was sending offensive tweets they can kick her out with no legal recourse.

Up. Identified. Lase. Fire. On the way.

The article provided in the OP clearly paints the event organizer(s) in a poor light.

If there are "tweets since deleted" it's reasonable that somebody would have screen shots of them. But haven't been able to find them. And, of course, if the pageant is dismissing her for tweets it must certainly have the goods. Right?

So I tend to agree with the reporting that she's (Zhu) has been unfairly dealt with by the "private organization."

Willing to change my mind, but at this point supporting Zhu. Not a #BelieveAllWomen moment/type of event, but could apply. As could #SupportLaborAgainstProfiteering&ExploitiveManagement, yes?
